i can see where the confusion lies. the original launch date of this contest was july 1, but we decided to launch it a day early and i had to change the rules to reflect that. my response to the previous post has been amended from july 1 to june 29.

Amen! I read all through this thread to make sure I was current on all of the "clarifications" only to find that many were asking questions already explicitly defined in the contest rules!

People, when you do not read the rules first and ask obvious questions, you waste the mods' time (having to constantly redirect you to the contest rules), you waste other readers' time (having to read through all of your irrelevant drivel to get to the good stuff), and you waste forum space (this thread could be just 1 - 1 1/2 pages of content at this point, but has been expanded to 3. Fully half of this thread addresses questions that are already defined in the rules).

Wake up!

On another note, this contest does look quite tasty. Props to the mods for coming up with such a fun and unique contest theme and employing a very cool bracket concept. This will be fun!

I still don't but I read the instructions twice so now I know what to build!

Question: I know we have to make a new bounty hunter and ship, but are you allowing people to make like new custom pieces for helmets and stuff? I think it would be kind of unfair to those who can't make their own crazy helmet designs.

But apart from that, I'd totally love to enter this contest. The only thing I had planned for this summer was biking, a music festival and Starcraft II. :P

Rules state that you can only use officially licensed Lego parts and stickers. No modified parts, custom parts, decals, or modified (cut) stickers.
